 I first loosened The manifold nuts, and then loosen the head nuts and that
was the end of the first day. Although these nuts have  been loosened  now,
 nothing has broken loose from its original tightness.  I tapped on the
intake manifold and then  freaked out  that it might break the cylinder
loose and I certainly don=E2=80=99t want to do that so I quit Tapping. I al=
so
wondered if I had to take the rocker  arm out first?  So far, nothing has
broken loose from its original locked  position.
